Don't worry, it's a a webserver in a LAN, no way to access it from 
the outside, it`s just my testing system;-)

that is more or less what I already did in first place (my last email 
was just "trying EVERYTHING to make it work").

OK, but I gave it another try:
I deleted all users and groups and related files.
I started again with ./configure etc etc.

but again, when I did the restart I got:

--------
bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
Killing Interchange server 13788 with TERM
Low traffic settings.
Calling UI....
...UI is loaded....
Interchange V4.5.7
Configuring catalog construct...
Couldn't change to /home/name/data/interchange/catalogs: 
Permission denied

construct: error in configuration. Skipping.
construct: config error -- Couldn't change to 
/home/name/data/interchange/catalogs: Permission denied. 
Skipping.
Interchange server started in INET and UNIX mode(s) (process id 
13823)
---------------


and (before you ask), all directories are "chmod -R interch:interch":
/usr/local/interchange
/home/name/website/construct
/home/name/data/interchange


sorry, didn't work. any other ideas?
